Default c5 convertible top adjustment

I just bought a beautiful c5 Commemorative Edition convertible with 23K miles and I would like to know if anyone knows how to adjust the top or where I can get information on how to do it

Happy New Year

When the top is up, it doesn't look even across the bottom where it sits on the car, and the windows don't seal correctly. I can hear air leaking thru when driving.

Here is how to adjust the top. If the window does not seal afterwards it is either the weather striping or the window adjustment. I can provide info on that also if you need it.

Mr. Sam,
Thanks for the info.
The driver's side window has inboard/outboard play while the passengers side does not. If I could get the info on the window adjustment, I would appreciate it.

Here is the window adjustment. It could be the regulator so if you need more info on that I have it.

Here is how to remove the door panel. This first one has some regulator info also.
